JOE B.

al leader, my protector, my provider, my teacher, and my friend, I would like to say thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Thank you for helping me become a better person, a better son, a better brother, and eventually a better husband and father. I have some very big shoes to fill, but you’ve put me on the path to success. I may not be there, but today is one that I will celebrate from a continent away. 50 years of having an enormous impact on people’s lives. Everyone who has had the pleasure of having a conversationwith youwill always leave with something. Thank you for being my amazing father!! May God bless you with 50 more years of success and prosperity! Sean Bamfo Happy birthday, daddy!! We thank God for these past 50 years.

Thank you for being the best father I could ask for! RJ I want to reminisce about this fond memory from his childI want to reminisce about this fond memory from his childhood… Josh began his schooling at Pentecost Preparatory School, New Site, Takoradi. When I was transferred to Accra by the Church of Pentecost, I later picked him up from Sekondi to stay with me. I enrolled him at Morning Star Preparatory School; he was assessed with Stage 4 questions as entrance exams. He excelled in the exams, but he was asked to join Stage 3. He vehemently declined; it became a thorny issue between the school authority and Josh. The "situation" was presented before the Proprietress of the school. Her decision on the issue prevailed in Josh's favour. Hence, he was sent to Stage 4. Owing to his academic prowess, he enjoyed rapid promotions from class to class at Morning Star Preparatory School. Based on this story, I see Josh as someone who fights for his unalienable rights. I built a library in our home. Josh has a strong knack for reading. I observed he would always go for these two books in the library and read ardently:"The World Book Encyclopedia" and "The New Standard Encyclopedia." His interest in the Encyclopedia largely informed his decision to study geography at Presec, Legon. I am not surprised he majored in Economics in his educational life. Josh has some remarkable traits: he listens to his parents and respects them with all sincerity. He has been a strong bone in my life ever since I retired from active ministry. It's my fervent prayer that the Lord watches over Josh in his new age, blesses the work of his hands with enormous favour, and advances his years on earth with good health. Happy Birthday to you, Josh. Rev. Robert Bamfo Happy 50th birthday to the most incredible brother in the world! You have always been an inspiration to me, and I look up to you with so much admiration. Dear Josh, on your 50th birthday, I just want to say how much I love and appreciate you. You have always been there for me, and I know I can always count on you. I am so grateful to have you in my life. May the good Lord bless you on your 50th birthday and always. You've been a blessing to our family, and we know that God has plans for you in the years ahead. Becky Bamfo 50
